    Can run cpvc through attic?
    Hi there. After some time off, I'm ready to continue on my bathroom project. I will be pulling water, hot and cold, from my attached garage. The bathroom is on the opposite side of the shared wall with the garage.

    I want to run cpvc lines, straight up in the garage, then 90 over through a block wall to my wet wall. Is it OK to run it through the block? Or should just go over it through my attic?

    These water lines will be passing over my electric panel box mains, which are housed in 2.5 pvc. Is this a problem? Thanks again for a great advice on this site!

    When we repipe a house we are forced to run overhead in the attic on all interior wall fixtures and drop down to pick them up. There's nothing to prevent you from piping overhead in the attic. Good luck, Tom

CPVC manifold? [ 3 Answers ]

I've read that PEX manifolds can be used to reduce energy costs by reducing the amount of water that must be flushed from the lines each time hot water is requested. I prefer working with cpvc rather then PEX and I'm wondering if the same efficiency could be achieved by creating a cpvc manifold...
